14) Barrie Ltd was started in 1934, in New Haven, Conn., as a purveyor of boots and shoes to the men of Yale. It soon expanded into Cambridge, Mass., and then Princeton, NJ.... thus establishing itself as the Ivy shoe seller of choice! These loafers were made by Florsheim expressly for Barrie Ltd. They could use a good polish, and so are in Good condition. Size 11 AA/B. Asking just $29.

22) Founded in 1895, The Boot and Shoe Workers' Union was regarded as a radical organization, likely Socialist, and definitely un-American with their attempts to regulate wages and working conditions, and to enforce the use of stamps to show when a shoe was made by what they considered to be a bone fide trade union shop. The Union merged with the Retail Clerk's International Union in 1977, at which point their stamps ceased to be used in boots and shoes.

This lovely, sturdy pair of shoes thus dates from before 1977. Independently of its historic interest--it carries the BSWU stamp, noting the factory that it was made in!--this is a seriously sturdy pair of shows, perfect for manning the barricades or supporting your brother laborers on the docks. It's in Very Good condition, with some minor creasing and surface scuffs that will polish out . Size 11 1/2D, this is a steal at just $35, or offer.





23) Allen Edmonds "Preston" loafers. In excellent condition, except for a minor scuff on one upper, as shown. Size 9D. Asking just $45.





24) Geox loafers. Excellent condition! Made in Italy (clearly, although not marked.) Italian size 41 1/2 (US 8). Asking just $45.
